='''Kaze no Kuni; The Country of Wind'''=
::* ''Also See [[Five Great Shinobi Countries]]''

Kaze no Kuni, or as it is referred to by many whom are not from it, '[[The Country of Wind|The Country of Wind]]', is one of the [[Five Great Shinobi Countries]], and has traditionally been seen by people of the world as a chaotic and beautiful place, and one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, because it holds both a normal military (primarily roaming 'rangers' whom work for the Daimyo) but also it's own Hidden Village, [[Sunagakure no Sato|Sunagakure no Sato]], the Village Hidden in the Sands. It is a huge country and thereby somewhat diverse, like many of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, though most nations & people like to forget this and prefer to think of Sunagakure as all one huge desert.

Because of the size of the nation and it's complexity there for, each important subject will be discussed here.

=='''Politics'''==
The politics of Kaze no Kuni can be broken into three categories. The first is the role of the military, which is what is known by most ninja with the leader of the organization being the [[Kazekage]]. The second is the government of the entire country, lead by the Daimyo of the Country of Wind. Lastly, the Sultan, primarily a cermonial role retained from times before the Hidden Villages. Further responsibilities are listed below.

*'''Daimyo''' - The leader of the entire Country of Wind. Responsibilities include negotiations with other countries, passing of legislature and addressing the people of the country. They are the head of the government as a whole.

*'''Kazekage''' - The military leader of the country. They are the one in charge of all ninja in the country and are called to the front of the government in times of war. Currently, the title of Kazekage and Daimyo are held by the same person, Takashuri Keito.

*'''Sultan''' - With the rise of the Ninja Nations, and the conjoining of many of the nomadic clans of Kaze no Kun, the Sultan became primarily a ceremonial role with no political function. However, with the dismantling of the ninja state under the NCIA, the Sultan was able to gain major influence politically, and eventually gained control of the capitol Soma. The self appointed Mayor of Soma, and in charge of most of Kaze no Kuni's finances, the Sultan and the Daimyo have formed an uneasy truce to further the development of country.

=='''Economy'''==
Coming Soon

=='''Military'''==
The military within the Country of Wind is primarily composed of ninja from [[Sunagakure no Sato]]. However, the various nomadic clans that exist outside of the Kazekage's control make the vast deserts of Kaze no Kuni dangerous for outsiders and natives alike.
:* [[Sunagakure no Sato]]

=='''Architecture'''==
[[Image:Sunagakure_building.jpg|thumb|Architecture example from Wind Country.]]

The vast geography of Kaze no Kuni give rise to various architecture depending on the location. For example, Sunagakure, located in the heart of the Country of Wind, is buffeted by gusts of wind and billowing sand. The structures are built of sturdy sandstone to endure the harsh, dry climate and further conceal the village from notice. However, the city or Arrakis, built along the coast and far from possible hostiles promotes architecture for domestic living and sweeping views of the ocean.

=='''Terrain'''==

Due to the vast expanse of Kaze no Kuni, the terrain often varies drastically depending on a person's location. While many view The Country of Wind as nothing but windswept deserts, the land actually supports high biodiversity. Areas to the north are influenced by the climates of Rain, Coal, and Fang, and receive enough rain to support grasslands, shrubbery, and and in some cases even trees.

Areas close to Earth can be rocky and mountainous, and the higher elevation provides relief from the heat that most other areas of the country are subject to. Along the coast, and the Arrakis Peninsula, warm, oceanic winds bring moisture, allowing for tropical, or sub-desert conditions.

It is only in the heart of the country do the sands and wind reign supreme, creating the dry, hostile deserts that Kaze no Kuni is most known for. With little rainfall and high heat, only the sturdiest survive here, providing natural training grounds for shinobi and nomads alike.

=='''Culture'''==

Due to the largeness of the country, and the various historical events that impacted the major cities creations and continued existence, Kaze no Kuni boasts a wide diversity of cultures.

The city of Soma, and the surrounding area is heavily influenced by the nomadic clans that came together to form the first permanent settlement of the country. Throughout the centuries, the city has held onto many of these traditions that predate the founding of Sunagakure. This gives it a very middle-eastern feel, further enhanced by the residency of the ancient Sultan. Influences from the nearby nations may also be present, due to Soma's close proximity to the boarder.

Sunagakure, on the other hand, was heavily shaped by the Shodaime and the ninja traditions handed down by the Rikudou Sennin. As the center of the military world, and isolated in the heart of Kaze no Kuni, many of these traditions and values still hold true for shinobi and civilian alike.

Arrakis, the newest city in the Country of Wind, is a conglomeration of these two cities. Located far to the south along the coast, it's culture is built by those who wished distance and protection from the other shinobi nations. The tropical climate, with abundant vegetation and wildlife also make it the culinary capital of the city, alongside it's importance in the political world.

Outside of the established cities, nomadic clans still wander the western deserts of Kaze no Kuni. They give rise to small, isolated villages, or impermanent settlements that have their own self contained culture with little to no influence from the outside world. Varied and strange, these cultures are seldom documented except by those who wish to leave the harsh, wandering lifestyle.

=='''Weather'''==

Due to the county's size, the weather changes from location to location. Cities to the north experience more temperate climates, while the heart of Kaze no Kuni is dominated by arid, windy deserts. In these deserts, air temperature quickly reach blazing degrees during the daytime, though it quickly dissipates once the sun goes down. While rain is infrequent for most parts of Kaze no Kuni, desert storms are often fierce and unpredictable, rising without notice and are capable of massive damage. The winds that give the country it's name are also often vivious, raising deadly sandstorms in their wake. Along the coast, people experience a more tolerable heat, cooled by the ocean winds and moister air.

== ''Soma, Capital of Kaze no Kuni'' ==
[[Image:Soma.jpg|thumb|The city of Soma, seen by night.]]
Soma is a city with many faces. Among its unofficial names are The Arabian Nightmare, the Fish Market, and The City-In-Twilight. While the city is truly one of wonders - such works of artisanry and chakra can rarely be elsewhere found - it is also a city of dangers, and a cut throat is rarely more than two or three wrong turns away. The legitimate ruler, the sultan, has the hereditary title of The Diamond In The Rough, and rarely goes by an actual name. However, the sultan is only half the power in the city, at best. Soma is the center of the world's largest criminal enterprise, which is run by a mysterious figure known as the Patchwork King. Records suggest that the King has been operating for at least a hundred years, leading many to theorize that the title is inherited - but very little is known for sure. All that can be said for certain is that the Patchwork King's empire extends far beyond the boundaries of Kaze no Kuni, and that he keeps a very low profile. The Sultan, as is tradition, maintains a harem rather than taking a single wife, and the King is said to emulate this practice. Crime rates in the inner, richer parts of the city tend to be fairly low - most of the crime going on there is white-collar and thus unreported. More violent crimes are reserved for the poorer parts of town. The city is mostly urban, with no parks to speak of, but bath-houses and private gardens are ubiquitous in the richer districts. There is a thriving market for anatomical sales in the city, largely running through the bath houses, which is the origin of the city's second nickname.

[[Image:Sunaoverivew.jpg|thumb|245px|An overhead view of Sunagakure no Sato, also known as the Village Hidden in the Sand.]]
='''Sunagakure no Sato; The Village Hidden in the Sand'''=
One of the original Hidden Villages, Sunagakure no Sato, or as it also known as, the Village Hidden in the Sand is one of the oldest known Ninja Villages. While much of the world has changed, and many more Hidden Villages exist, Sunagakure still remains known as one of the Great Shinobi Nations.
==Geography==
[[Image:Sunadesert.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Sunagakure's Sands.]]
The areas surrounding Sunagakure are some of the harshest that Country of Wind has to offer. Located in the heart of Kaze no Kuni, the village is surrounded by windswept desert and scorching sand. Few examples of natural vegetation and wildlife can be found in the immediate vicinity.
The village itself is safeguarded from some of the harsher winds and sandstorms, as it is nestled between a small mountainous plateau. This rocky terrain provides natural protection from weather and enemies alike. The layered plateau has been furthered shaped into battlements that allow for village patrol and defense.

==Architecture==

''"This village sure has quite the artistic design to it." - Deidara ''

The buildings have mostly rounded structures to help circumnavigate damage caused by winds and course sand. Very monochromatic in color, most of the buildings are made from the rocky terrain that surround the village. These structures often feature numerous, but small windows placed high on the walls to allow sunlight and limited wind in, while keeping out as much of the sand as possible.

The village is divided by the main roads into eight sections, all which lead directly to the Kazekage's Summit. Within these sections, houses are grouped close together to create narrow, winding streets that provide further protection and cover from sandstorms. Ropes and cables will often lines streets or conjoin houses to allow for navigation during sandstorms or other periods of low visibility.

==Shinobi of Sand==
''"Even if you fall, you won't fall without a fight... Just what I'd expect from a Sand Shinobi." - Hatake Kakashi''

Masters of the desert, shinobi born within Kaze no Kuni almost always have the innate ability to control both wind and sand. They use these abilities to their advantage, creating a myriad of jutsu based around those elements. Due to the harsh terrain that is as often their sanctuary as it is their survival grounds, Sunagakure shinobi will often place an emphasis on endurance and stamina.

Outside of the standard ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, shinobi from Sunagakure has a rich history of swordsmanship, puppetry, and the use of poisons. However, those are just general, and should be by no means considered an all-inclusive lists. Sunagakure also employs special elite corps that scout areas within Kaze no Kuni, searching for sources of water and other natural resources. These places are carefully monitored and mapped to be used in forward missions or in times of crisis.

==Civilian Life==
Though The Village Hidden in the Sand primarily serves as the military capital of Kaze no Kuni, plenty of civilians leave peacefully alongside their ninja protectors. Many of these noncombanents enhance village life by providing goods and services outside the shinobi disciplines. They provide assistance to medical ninja and help maintain the village greenhouses, as well as run restaurants, blacksmiths, groceries, and other sundry stores. Civilians also provide the needed clientele for low ranked missions, essential in the training of new ninjas.

==Transportation==
[[Image:Windsurf.jpg|thumb|right|150px|An artist rendition of "Sand Surfing".]]
'''Railways:''' While still in construction, Sunagakure, in conjunction with Soma and Arrakis, are establishing a railway system that will connect the cities of Kaze no Kuni. This system will continue into neighboring countries and villages to provide quick and easy navigation through the sand.

During times of crisis, these established tracks are quickly concealed to prevent easy navigation from enemies and allies alike.

:*'''''OOC Knowledge:''' Similar to the ninja who special in finding usable resources within Kaze no Kuni, a special group is being trained to be deployed during wartime states whose sole purpose is to conceal any visible tracks or roads to and from Sunagakure. ''

'''Wind Powered:''' A recent development, and something that is still be explored, ninja, or even civilians with some chakra manipulation skill are exploring methods of controlled, wind powered transportation. As of now, it is most prominent in the recreational activities of "Wind Boarding", or "Sand Surfing".

Outside of these established mass methods, traveling by foot or by domesticated animals (such as horses, or camels) is still common.
